Two thoughts:

1) If you add the following line (to make the package a 'noarch'), you
can use the same rpm no matter what arch we're creating a chroot for.

BuildArch: noarch

2) What's the purpose of installing the spec file in the chroot?  I'm
afraid I don't see the point.  You'll never need it there.  If you want
to see what the requires were that got installed, you could do a "rpm -
qRp buildsys-minimal.*.rpm"
